We spent Easter in Bryan with G.G., Papa Rock, Mimi, Lee, Frannie and the cousins. Before we left on Friday, Parks had fun painting paper eggs to give out. He decided that he wanted to give them to Aunt Frannie, Mimi and Reville (Mimi's dog). I thought he might decide later that the 3rd egg should go to G.G., but no dice...he really wanted Rev to have that egg!
Parks loves being outside, so Mimi's house is great. She lives right on the golf course...plenty of room to run and lots people to watch. It was a beautiful weekend, so alot of time was spent on the back porch. Ella, Sam and Lauren came from Houston on Saturday. Parks LOVES his cousins!!! Every night when he says his prayers, he includes them...and their dog, Buddy:) We spent Saturday night celebrating Dad's birthday and hanging out together. G.G. gave the kids all a little Easter gift, and scored big with the flashlight that straps onto your head. Parks was so cute running around the dark golf course with it on.
Sunday morning we awoke to gifts from the Easter bunny. Parks got a wheelbarrow and yard tools (which he loves, by the way...has been helping Daddy all this weekend with them!)...he also got a load of candy. Why does the Easter bunny bring so much candy??? Think he'd be smarter than that by now...especially since I eat it all!!! Davis got a stuffed bunny, a book and some other little goodies. He especially likes a little squeeze bunny that he chewed on (hope its not from China!!!). Of course, we had an Easter egg hunt out back. Parks found a golden egg with money in it...jackpot! He solicited his father's help with negotiating a trade for candy with his cousins...a Trump in the making:) **Side note here...the little guy really does like money...actually jumps up and down when someone gives him some change. He will rob me right in front of my face..."gonna get your money to put in my bank." He takes the money to his room, wrestles his stepping stool in place so that he can climb up and add it to his little baseball bank. Gets that saving gene from Daddy!!**After the big hunt, we went to brunch at the club and ate way too much. Enjoyed seeing Pam and Billy there. The boys were pretty well behaved. We set Parks next to Ella...for some reason he listens to her...she might have to move in with us! Francesca says their little relationship works out well because he listens to her, and she likes to boss people around...perfect match!
Great weekend...the only bummer was that Mimi had a terrible cold. I've never seen this woman sick! She rested for most of the weekend, so we missed getting to visit with her. She wasn't even able to make it to brunch with us after she did all of the arranging:( Hopefully she is feeling better by now...you can't keep Mimi down long!
